Elizabeth The San Jose Newspaper pointed out that the quality of picture is not the best. But Intel does put a lot of things together and the quality of the picture can improve in the future models. Intel does like to sell better chips and it looks like "now better" cameras(g) Thanks for the post. Larry Dudash

Elizabeth, re: "The Intel camera has 8 MB of built-in memory" I think you are right, that the camera doesn't use flash cards. A shame, because I think they could have a winner for the entry-level consumer, the person who wants to try digital photography, but doesn't want to plunk down $500. Intel has a long term record of creating products that promote the sales of PC's; they are certainly not the "post PC era" company that Aus talks about. I'm sure that's why their digital camera is tethered to the PC with the cradle, rather than having a removable flash card. They want the consumer to think of the camera as an extension of their PC. It will be interesting to see how this product sells. I imagine that most folks than now own 35mm SLR's originally owner a cheap point and shoot camera. So I imagine there will be a lot of folks that try this out, and eventually upgrade to a camera with CF. John
